To protect the maiden from harm and capture
Or something stranger to the titan
As a lone survivor of a bygone age
When the brazen race of bronze
Emerged from nymphs hiding within ash trees
In the times before the cities grew
After the great war
As an enormous guardian
Rewarded by the smith god
To the Cretan king
Satiating his desires for a while
Before the inventor emerged from the sea
To be made a king's slave
Elusive in the bronze one's ways
Exuding a single vein of life
